TEMPADD
Bulk Data Entry Defines a temperature set as a union of temperature sets defined via the TEMP or TEMPD Bulk Data Entries.

Definitions
Field | Contents | SI Unit Example |
---|---|---|
TID | Identification number for
new temperature set. No default (Integer > 0) |
|
S | Overall scale factor. No default (Real) |
|
Si | Individual temperature
scale factors. No default (Real) |
|
Ti | Identification numbers of
temperature sets defined via TEMP or
TEMPD Bulk Data Entries. No default (Integer > 0) |
Comments
- The temperature field is defined as:
- Temperature load as a combination of the defined temperature sets
- Overall scale factor defined in field 3
- Scale factors defined in the S1, S2, …, Sn fields
- Temperature sets defined via the T1, T2, …, Tn fields
- Only one TEMPD Bulk Data Entry can be referenced on a TEMPADD Bulk Data Entry.
- TEMPADD can be selected via the TEMPERATURE Subcase Information selector or the EXCITEID field on the TLOAD# Bulk Data Entries.
- TEMPADD is supported for any solution type/analysis where TEMP or TEMPD Bulk Data Entries are supported.
- Nested TEMPADD Bulk Data Entries are not supported.
- Multiple temperatures should not be assigned to the same grid via TEMPADD. Each grid can only have one temperature. If there is a conflict, then an Error message is issued.
- All data after the first blank field is ignored.
- Temperature-dependent material can be activated at the subcase-level via different options (such as TEMP(MAT), TEMP(LOAD), TEMP(BOTH), DLOAD (via TLOAD# + TEMP/TEMPD Bulk Data Entries), etc.) depending on the subcase type. For more information, refer to Comment 2 on the TEMPERATURE Subcase Information Entry.
- TEMPADD should not share the same ID with other temperature set Bulk Data Entries.
- For more information, refer to the TEMPERATURE Subcase Information Entry or TLOAD1, TLOAD2 Bulk Data Entries.
